Nature Done Wright

Beautiful day for a Losen Slote Creek Park guided walk yesterday.

I think the "bird of the day" might have been the dragonfly at right.

The dragonfly stopped briefly to pose for photos on folks' outer clothing.

If anyone can ID it, either correctly or humorously, please let me know.

The rare Showerhead Ferns seen near Losen Slote Creek were also a treat. Photo is "on the jump" below.

If anyone can ID it, either correctly or humorously, please let me know.

Full list and more pix follow.
